Keshia Knight Pulliam & Brad James 

In early December, the married actors announced that they were expecting their first child together. Keshia later revealed on the Tamron Hall Show that they kept quiet about their baby at first due to a previous miscarriage.

She also added that her daughter, from a previous relationship with Ed Hartwell, is excited to be a big sister! Brad and Keshia got married in September 2021. Keshia’s due date remains unclear, but that bump was bumpin’ in the announcement post.

Colin Kaepernick & Nessa Diab

Colin and Nessa welcomed their first baby together over the summer but didn’t announce their new journey until late August–a few weeks after the birth.
